Ukrainian Liberation Army

The Ukrainian Liberation Army (UVV) was a military formation of the German Wehrmacht that was active from 1943 to 15 April 1945. The 180,000-strong UVV consisted of Ukrainian volunteers and Ukrainian Red Army prisoners-of-war, but the UVV was a loose formation, instead serving as a collective group to unify all of the Ukrainian units in Nazi service. In April 1945, the UVV merged into the Ukrainian National Army.
